TC Helicon Play Acoustic - extended loop time

[Monsum]

I think some TC Helicon Play Acoustic users might be interested in the updated firmware for the Play Acoustic (and Electric) which doubles the loop time.
Short explanation from their forum:

This update doubles the amount of loop recording time in all output modes. Stereo and Dual Mono are now 30 seconds, Mono is 1 minute.
Turning off Loop Undo in Setup doubles these times again. So if you play in Mono without the undo option you can get 2 minutes of loop time!

It's another useful improvement after they added a delay effect in the previous update.

Sweet! I've been using a JamMan Express because of the short loop time on the PA. This update should solve that problem. Thanks for the heads up!

Haven't dropped in on their forum in a while, appreciate the heads up!
Downloading tonight.

Thanks. I've been using a Ditto X2 with my Play Electric (which I use only for my acoustic). Of course I just bought a VoiceLive 3 since they can be had so cheap these days in order to consolidate everything and now there's enough looping time in the PE. DOH!

Thank you Monsum for sharing this suggestion on increasing the PAs' Looping time. I found the original 30 second parameter too short for my needs and so, I compensated by having other looping pedals on my board. I look forward to applying your suggestion to my PA.

SWITCH-3, 6
Something else that PA users might find interesting is:
I prefer the PA within arms' reach and opted for the remote Switch-6. I had a problem because my unit was only geared for the Switch-3.
Assisted by Musictribes, I updated the PAs' firmware and found Switch-6 listed as an option. Double your pedal controls? You betcha!
Because the remotes' individual switches are assignable, the number of different setup combinations is enormous.
